This just gives the players further motivation to get the right result.
Especially because Ipswich play Huddersfield last game and they should be promoted to the premier League before the game kicks off.
We need 1 point tomorrow to put us in a good position.

Losing 2-1?
How many of these players will be released/sold this summer?

His goal involvement means we should look to get him back again on loan for one final season before most likely signing him summer of 25.
If we had to buy him this summer though i'd stand well clear as the funds should be used elsewhere, GK and CB as examples.

If this is true it makes me wonder how the forward options will look like come the start of the new season and how much room is there for another striker?
Ennis so far for me is the anomaly, just don't see he's ready, he's like a non functional J. Brown. But think it's more likely Mmaee will be sold if we sign another forward.

With Robert Huth back as the guest in SJW's first game, just after his appointment, then being spotted watching the u21s game with him last week at Leicester (albeit Huth has a minor role there), then back again to watch the game here on Saturday, wonder if he's being lined up for a role here? They seemed close and Huth has the same sporting director qualifications as Walters. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-robert-huth-leicester-4079026Would it be a crowd-pleasing move too far, or another step in a positive direction? Assuming he's being lined up for some kind of role, as long as he's the best candidate then I'm all for it. Is that Vardy next to Huth as well? Who's the bloke between Huth and Walters? The only thing I remember about Ben Petty is he got sent off at home to Walsall in the first leg of the playoffs. Certain one of their players was clean through late on in the game and he took him down to prevent us going 1-0 down but I could be remembering wrong, I was only 11 at the time unless my mind is playing tricks on me Ben Petty rugby tackled the player ( think he played rugby as a kid too). When he got up he was already running off the pitch before receiving the red card. He got proper cheered off the pitch by the fans too.

Would be nice to stay up and to get the result this weekend so then we can ignore the results elsewhere on the last day. Other than that, don't really care at this point

5-0 defeat on the road tonight. Russel Martin won’t be happy at all with that so won’t be surprised to see him completely change up their team on Saturday to give others a chance to prove themselves for the play offs, could be either good or bad for us? wanted Leicester to win, but not to batter then like that. We can expect a response to that.

Wolves bought him for 10m and he'll be on crazy wages until 2026. Liverpool have a 15% sell on clause. He's not coming here permanently we simply can't afford him and even if we could afford him I wouldn't sign him because he can't defend. Feels too me Wolves are okay loaning him out is his wages are paid for or contributed too rather than take an FFP hit by selling him.

Not sure it is poor form.
Alot of decisions made by VAR, FA, UEFA, FIFA are highly questionable and it's difficult not to think there's a degree of corruption.
It probably needs more teams throwing their toys out of the pram and threatening legal action to start pushing back, because otherwise what threat is there?

How does wildcard work Do we get a new one every summer + any we free up? Or is is flat 4 you need to sell (even in 10 years time) to free up a slot? analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2023/06/21/introducing-esc-the-new-gbe-guidance-opens-up-recruitment-post-brexit/Looks like it's a max of 4 at any one time. But Bae and Burger's seasons will mean that they no longer have to take up a wild card slot in 24/25 as they're now qualified through getting 15+ points on the checklist due to their Championship appearances. And Wes will go. So that leaves just Jojic. So we could have 3 more slots if 35% of our team minutes have gone to English-qualified players (which may be a bit of a stretch given our lack of English-qualified players?) That reduces to a maximum 3 for 30%, 2 for 25% and 1 for 20% We've not played many English qualified players this year, but reading that guide it looks like the assessment period is the last three seasons rather than just the last one. In seasons gone by we've been pretty high up the list. So we are likely to have three slots. Keen to see who we sign!

He’s good enough to be on the bench. Terrible for his development. Not sure it is, although it's hard to know what's best. Physically he can put alot of muscle on over the next couple of years and that will be the thing that really helps him to progress.

I went to Harrogate v MK Dons yesterday so was pleased when I saw he was starting. He had a reasonable game, playing in more of an attacking wide role rather than up front. Plenty of tidy touches and passed the ball well. Took his goal well by showing composure before a tidy finish. Considering his age he more than held his own and it'd be good to see him push on somewhere next season. Cracking game by the way...5-3 to MK Dons with Harrogate hitting the woodwork three times as well. From the highlights he looked slow and “heavy”. Do you think he can play at a decent level. His game isn't based upon pace at all. He's got an exceptional touch for someone who's not even 19 yet and he could be a great target man in years to come. We need to extend his contract and if we don't sign any forward players get him and Lowe alternating on the first team bench. If we do sign another we may need to loan them (or just one) out till January.

Iversen has got considerably better over his loan period so if we signed him he'd improve us, as would Johansson. Iversen is likely to cost too much to sign and his wages would be far higher than Johansson, so would be tempted to go Viktor.
Thing is, we definitely won't be the only ones in the market for a decent GK at only £1m

Both Manhoef and Junho after technically decent. Manhoef better at striking the ball, but Junho has better balance.
Neither have pace though, so we can't sit back against teams and break on the counter. If we did sign a wide player I'd hope they were rapid.

Think I'm in the minority of one who thinks Laurent is a decent player for us, but he has his limitations, typically anything more "intricate" or technical.
It must be tough to receive criticism from people you don't know, but hopefully this is used in the right way to get him to prove he's decent.
As for Angela, all she's done is give her opinion, so not sure this thread even needs the title it has?

Rather than discount the ticket, could they offer a number of free drinks before the game?
Get people tanked up and para!

We would benefit from a partizan crowd.
Have the club ever done a ticket incentive that includes a number of free drinks before the game or something like that?
Really not sure what formation schumacher will play, but wouldn't be surprised if he goes full leather first 45.

Its weird not giving fans a choice.

Didn't watch yesterday so can't comment on that, but in most games I've watched him in this season he's been a very good player for us.
He's an absolute unit and gets around the pitch really well and has been part of the reason for our turn around.
Pleased he's at the club and if I was him, who is a much better player than our league position, receiving constant abuse I'd leave in the summer.
If he's looking for an area to improve, it would be his finesse with his touch or his passing.

I'm so fucking sick of changing managers. We've had a dozen and it's made no difference whatsoever. The bloke is obviously thirsty to have a long career in management. Let him learn how to do it. Exactly this. Don't think any of us expected to concede 3 against Swansea, we'd seemingly turned a corner. So he did well to get us back to earning points again today. We only need three more points to be pretty confident of securing another season in the championship, unless there are exceptional points from Huddersfield and Wednesday. Last thing we need is another manager, we've had too much change without giving a manager ling enough to start bringing through real progress. Our worst mistake like this was sacking O'Neil, he did a great job for us. Schumacher needs time to help the younger players develop and to implement his attacking football. We need lower play over turnover so we can create relationships in the club!

I’m trying to think of a worse striker I’ve seen in the near 30 years I’ve been going, and having great difficulty doing so. Do you have to think back that far? Wesley? Gayle? Not a fan of his but he's good enough to be a squad player.

Brave selection, can't accuse him of bottling it, feels more Schumacher again.
Hopefully it gets us the necessary points.

We need one win and draw in the next 5.
50 points and Sheff Wed and Huddersfield would need 51 due to their goal difference, which another 8 points in 4 games should be a huge ask.
